Blocked Drain Plumber Perth
Slow sink, gurgling toilet or a drain backing up across the yard? We clear blocked drains across Perth's southern suburbs, then run a CCTV camera down the line so it stays cleared.
Servicing Perth's southern suburbs
Cleared properly, not just poked at
A blocked drain never picks a good time. One day the kitchen sink is draining slow, the next there's a blocked shower drain leaving you ankle-deep, or a smell drifting up through the gully.
Clearing blocked drains across Perth's southern suburbs is the work Frecks Plumbing & Gas is known for. We don't poke at it and hope. We find the actual blockage, clear it properly, and show you what caused it on camera.
We're local, licensed and based in Kwinana, covering the southern suburbs every week. Ben owns and runs his own gear, from the sewer jetter and CCTV camera through to a mini excavator, so the whole job stays in one pair of hands.
What we clear
- Kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains
- Blocked sewer drains and toilet lines

How we clear your blocked drain in Perth
You give us a call
Tell us what's blocked and what you're seeing, slow water, a smell, a toilet backing up. You'll talk straight to the tradie who'll do the work.
We locate the blockage
Often a CCTV camera straight down the line, so we find exactly where the blockage is and what's causing it, instead of guessing.
We clear it properly
Electric drain machine or high-pressure water jetter, whichever is right for the job, to cut through the blockage and flush the line clean.
We show you the cause
You see what was actually going on so you can decide if it needs a longer-term fix. Then we leave the site clean and tidy.
What causes most blocked drains in Perth homes
Fats, oils and food scraps
The number-one kitchen culprit. Fat cools and hardens inside the pipe, then catches everything that follows it.
Hair and soap build-up
In showers and basins, hair binds with soap scum into a mat that slowly chokes the drain.
Wet wipes and the wrong things flushed
Wipes labelled flushable rarely break down. They're one of the most common causes of blocked sewer lines.
Tree roots
Roots chase moisture into tiny cracks and joints in older clay pipes, then grow into a full blockage. A camera finds these fast.
Sand, leaves and debris
Stormwater drains and outdoor pits fill with leaf litter, sand and silt, especially after a storm.
Damaged or collapsed pipe
Older pipes crack, sag or collapse. If a drain keeps blocking in the same spot, this is usually why, and Ben can dig up and replace the damaged section himself with his mini excavator.
CCTV inspection and high-pressure drain cleaning
Plenty of drains get cleared just enough to flow again, then block again a month later. We do it differently.
A CCTV drain camera shows us exactly what's in the line and why it blocked, whether that's a root, a build-up or a collapsed section. Then high-pressure drain cleaning with a water jetter scours the pipe wall clean, rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.
And when the pipe itself is the problem, Ben can dig it up, repair or replace the damaged section and backfill, all with his own mini excavator rather than subcontracting the excavation out. It also means he'll replace enough of the failing line to fix it for good, not just patch the spot and see you again.
It means the drain stays cleared longer, and if there's a bigger problem hiding, you find out before it turns into an emergency.
- CCTV camera inspection to find the real cause
- High-pressure drain cleaning that scours the whole pipe
- Own mini excavator to dig up and replace failing pipe
- Honest advice on whether it needs a permanent fix
